Chapter 426: Nationwide Live Broadcast (3)
Another reporter followed up, "Mr. Su, you mentioned that the higher-ups provided proof for you. Does this mean the Supreme Council was aware of your dual identity long ago and chose to conceal it from the public? Is this a form of deception? Did the public have the right to know earlier?"
This question was extremely pointed, directly targeting official credibility. The entire venue instantly fell silent.
Su Zhan's expression remained unchanged. "Before I appeared at the Grand Competition, my very survival was an unknown. The handling of my identity involved the highest-level strategic security assessments. Based on the potential I demonstrated, my stance, and the overall benefits I could bring to Daxia, the Council of Elders and the Military Department, after rigorous deliberation and risk assessment, ultimately made the decision to grant me a corresponding identity and gradually guide public awareness. This process indeed did not inform the public in advance, and I understand it will cause controversy. But I stand here now, laying everything bare, precisely to end this information gap. This is also part of the official side demonstrating sincerity and a willingness to accept public oversight."
His answer acknowledged the facts while framing the authorities' actions as a prudent strategic choice. He also positioned this current disclosure as a new starting point.
"Then, Mr. Su, regarding the future, how specifically do you plan to dispel public doubts? How will you utilize your... dual powers?"
Su Zhan replied calmly, "Actions speak louder than words. I will dedicate myself to the front lines of combating the Mist and eradicating the Transcendence Society. My merits and faults can be judged in the future by the number of enemies I slay and the safety of the cities I protect. Simultaneously, I am willing to undergo regular condition assessments under official supervision and disclose key results to the public. As for this power..."
Su Zhan raised his hand again. A wisp of condensed Flame of Destruction danced at his fingertips, its pure sense of power making everyone present feel a palpitation in their hearts. "It originates from the Mist, but from now on, its edge will be directed solely at Daxia's enemies."
The direction of the live chat began to show subtle changes:
"Wait... he doesn't need to devour humans? How is that possible?"
